I shoot in a speed league where the ( ) running it REQUIRE that the reloads be done empty with slide locked back to make sure nobody is "manipulating" a loaded gun. Their league, their rules.

I plan my stages so I don't have a slide lock. But in the event where my plan goes out the window when the buzzer goes off (happens a lot), I revert back to my LE training and grab over the top of the slide with my weak hand.

And so it begins. Welcome and I'm glad you had fun/

Looks like some "shooters" I know.

I usually load in the evening after dinner.

I'm running a 200gr LSWC over 4.9gr of titegroup. Making 180+ PF. still feels less than a factory load and works good in my Springfield 1911.

That would be awesome!!! Reset might be a pain.

When your choice of which brand of ice cream is determined on whether or not the container can be repurposed for holding brass, bullets, ammo, etc

I've been wondering the same thing. Thanks

really I've been throwing them in the trash.

I can't say for the match hotel, but being from the area I doubt if all the hotels in Wichita Falls are booked. Unless there's a big event going on like when the Hotter'n Hell Hunderd is going on.

Thanks for the advice. Just to be clear. Grip tape on the front strap is legal for SS right?

That's why I "drag" my wife along. She likes to watch and one day wants to join once she's more comfortable with a pistol. Doesn't affect anything and I get video for review.

A chrono is in the plans for me. As is a 650 and lots of other things. But money's hard to come by so I'm slowly getting everything I need together. Thanks again for all the great info.

Holy cow!!! Y'all weren't kidding about shooters connection. I placed an order and within 20 min had a ship notification. That's awesome!!!

Thanks for all the info. I have a friend that has a chrono. I'll run and see him and use his. I will be shooting major. Looks like I'll need some more mag pouches. My goals for this match are 1. Don't DQ. 2. Don't finish last.

I've run a few hundred rounds with 4.9 of titegroup and 200 lswc. Been working good so far.

Oh holster is a bladetech. No drop or offset.

I'm using a stock Springfield operator. Ammo will be factory since I'm not 100% certain of my own loads yet. How much leeway will they give on the mag pouch position. I'm just running a wilderness belt and a pair of 5.11 pants for now. I'm using two double mag pouches and the front one ends up about 10 o'clock on my belt.

I just signed up for the Double Tap Championship. This will be my first major. I've shot a few club matches but want to know what I'll need for a major. I'll be shooting single stack. Thanks for any and all help.
